Gorgias

We decided to meet in a restaurant near my house which serves excellent waffles. After a few waffles, of which she ate a great deal, she started talking about her parents, and how nice they were. I told her, “Oh, how great that your parents are still alive.” She replied in shock. “Oh my god, I’m sorry, I didn’t know!” “What?” “… What do you mean, what?” “What didn’t you know?” “Your parents. I didn’t know – I didn’t know you don’t have your parents anymore.” “Uh. I do.” “What!” “They’re alive. Good fun. I call them sometimes.” She slapped me in the face. Not with a waffle, though. That would’ve been good.
